 Fairly satisfiedAug 17, 2008
I had read reviews about the bike being wobbly, or difficult to put together, or not having the ability to select a display other than scan. The bike I got had very minor shipping damage which does not appear to impair the bike's performance, or its useful life. The bike's four floor pads are designed so that if it wobbles, simply rotate the floor pad to eliminate the unwanted movement. The electronics are simple to operate, and yes, you can choose which aspect of your ride you'd like to moniter. (ie. time, distance, calories burned, heart rate, etc.) I am 5'9" and weigh 240, the bike is a good fit for me and supports me sturdily as I ride. If it weren't for the shipping damage, the bike would be perfect.
 Decent for the priceJul 20, 2008
This bike is decent or the price. It works quite well - the range of resistance is pretty good and the heart rate monitor is decent so long as you keep your hands on the monitor points for at least a minute, otherwise it starts over trying to evaluate your heart rate. The main part of the unit is pre-assembled and the remainder isn't too difficult.
The person complaining that the tension control does nothing probably didn't follow the instructions to hook up the tension cable during setup, and to everyone complaining about the display cycling through the various readouts: just hit the "Mode" button! This let's you choose what it displays, and it stops the automatic cyclcing!
A few things that I have found annoying:
* The seat is uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I'm tall, but the main thing I want on a device that I'm going to use a lot is a comfy seat. I was not impressed at all with the one that came with it. If anyone has found a way to attach a better seat please leave a comment!
* If you stop using it briefly to take a short break the display clears within a minute or two, losing the estimated calories burned so far. This is quite annoying.
* After using it for a while, mine has developed a small rattle/tick as I turn the pedals. I haven't cared enough to open it to see if it's correctable. Sometimes it goes away.
* Inside there is some kind of band that acts as a chain between some of the parts. After a bit of use this band seems to rub against some of the internal parts and deposits black filings on my carpet. They don't stain, but occasional vacuuming is required.
* The plastic for the shell is a bit brittle and easy to crack.
* The heart-rate monitor takes a while to recover and find your accurate heart rate if you remove your hands from the monitor points on the handle bars.
Overall it's stood up fairly well and for the price it's definitely a good starter bike. I would give it 4/5 if not for the quality of the seat.
Still working goodJun 04, 2008
I bought this a couple of months ago. Not expecting much for this price. But this thing is still working good for me and my wife. We are both under 180lbs (it labels 'not for use over 250lbs') and 5-8"/5-10" tall. The seat is good for us, after a first-time ache use...
There is no light on the display, but the (ordinary) light in our room is sufficient to read the panel.
a great starter machine

 Great bike for the priceMar 19, 2008
I purchased this bike about one month ago, and I am very pleased with it. I had my boyfriend assemble the bike for me, so I can't really comment on whether or not it was difficult to put together. I can see how the bike would be difficult to use for people who are shorter. I'm 5'9" and I had to put the seat down to one of the lowest notches in order to use it comfortably. The only thing that I didn't like about the bike was that the seat was uncomfortable for the first couple uses. Thankfully, it only took a couple hours of riding to break in the seat.
Overall, it is a very smooth and quiet ride. It's also very sturdy. That, along with the preset programs and various resistances, gives you a great workout. Of course, there are better bikes out there, but this bike does a great job and can't be beat for the price.

Better than expected!Nov 28, 2007
I actually bought this through GNC's website after finding it on Amazon. I wasn't sure what to expect after some of the reviews here, but I've been pleasantly surprised. I've been wanting a stationary bike for awhile, as biking is the only activity I can do since having foot surgery last year. This bike seems like a good way to regain the muscle tone in my legs.
It did take awhile for us to put together- probably about 45 minutes. You'll definately need two people for certain parts.
The bike is very comfortable to use. The seat is large and well cushioned, comfortable to sit on for awhile. It can be adjusted to a good range of heights. I'm 5'9" and there were several pegs above and below my setting. I'm still getting used to actually getting on the bike, but I wouldn't recommend this model for anyone with a hard time climbing over objects. The base rises about 2 feet off the ground, so the recumbant model might be better for anyone with an injury or problems lifting their legs.
The technology is great too. I've never used anything beyond a basic fan bike before so I was really excited about the 6 different programs they offer along with the 8 tension settings. I've only played with a few of the programs but there seems to be a good variety of challenges. My favorite part has been watching my progress on the panel. It shows your speed, distance travelled, calories burned, time left, and heart rate. This is really helpful to motivate me to reach the end of my workout and stay within my target heart rate.
I would definately recommend this bike. For the price it's very high quality and the features are really nice. It's a quiet bike, not too heavy when assembled, and it's very quiet.
